Hi, does anyone have spare wool packing sheets they'd like me to take off their hands? The sheets I'm familiar with are 50-100 cm long, 20-30 cm wide and about 1/2 a cm thick. Bigger sheets will also be fine. I'm happy to pop around and take them off your hands.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
